Chapter 63: Unstoppable
Yu Xiu and Zhou Lanting worked together to draw out the Fire Demon and immediately ran down the mountain.
But Zhou Lanting still underestimated the strength of the Fire Demon; if it weren’t for the sudden shaking of the ground and the closing of the cracks, the Fire Demon would have surely swallowed him.
Looking at the retreating Fire Demon, Zhou Lanting smiled wryly and said, "Whether he can come out this time really depends on his luck!"
Yu Xiu looked at the returning Fire Demon, his face a bit worried, and Zhou Lanting joked, "What, are you feeling sorry for your Five Element Refuge Bead now?"
"What are you talking about? I’m just worried about your safety, senior."
Yu Xiu replied.
"Safety my foot! Do you really think he can still come out in this situation?"
Zhou Lanting replied in annoyance, "If you’re worried about the bead, just say so. I can’t stand you righteous hypocrites; none of you speak a single word of truth."
Yu Xiu did not want to argue with him. He chanted a Buddhist phrase and said, "You still have humanity within you. Otherwise, return with me to the Tianlong Temple, and I…"
"Get lost!"
Zhou Lanting replied with one word, saw someone coming from a distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Watching Zhou Lanting’s departing figure, Yu Xiu called out, "Whenever you need help, I, Yu Xiu, will do my best to assist you."
Zhou Lanting turned her back on him and raised her middle finger.
After a while, the people who were camping at the foot of the mountain came rushing over.
When they saw Yu Xiu, the leaders of several major groups looked shocked, especially those who had gone in earlier; their faces were not looking good at all.
"Where is Yi Qianmo? Is he still alive?"
Su Muyu rushed over anxiously.
Yu Xiu sighed and said, "I’m afraid the elder won’t come back."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyu felt very worried. For Yi Qianmo, she had offended the Xuanyuan Sect, and now Yi Qianmo had died in Green Dragon Mountain. How would she explain this to her brother?
"He lost his footing and fell; that was his fate, wasn’t it, little monk?"
Liu Qingfeng immediately stepped out.
When he saw Yu Xiu come out, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, but after hearing Yu Xiu’s words, he finally relaxed.
"What do you mean by that? I have never seen someone as shameless as you!"
Yu Xiu stared at Liu Qingfeng and shouted.
"You little bald donkey, who are you calling shameless?"
Liu Qingfeng was furious.
"You troublemaker, who are you calling a bald donkey?"
The cultivators of the Tianlong Sect immediately gathered around.
Seeing the two sides ready to fight, the cultivator with the surname Hu from the Xuanyuan Sect quickly stepped forward to mediate and said, "Someone is already dead; what is there left to argue about?"
"What happened?" Su Muyu asked.
Yu Xiu immediately recounted what had happened, saying, "It was this man with the surname Hu who harmed our elder; if it weren’t for him, the elder wouldn’t have fallen into the lava."
"You, Liu Qingfeng, you, Hu Jianren!!!"
Su Muyu glanced at Liu Qingfeng and glared at the cultivator with the surname Hu, "Elder Wu, we had an agreement before; what do you think we should do?"
"Someone is dead; who still cares about those agreements?"
Elder Wu sneered and said, "Your Highness, do you really want to confront my Xuanyuan Sect over a dead person? If you let this go, we can pretend all past grievances never happened."
"You can pretend nothing happened, but I cannot!"
Su Muyu gritted her teeth and said, "Disciples of Tianyuan Academy, listen up! At all costs, we will do everything to defeat Hu Jianren!"
However, aside from a few close guards of Su Muyu, the other disciples of Tianyuan Academy did not move at all.
Minister Professor Yu walked up to Su Muyu and said, "Your Highness, you must consider the bigger picture. Now that people are dead, do not cause more trouble. It could bring disaster to the royal family, and even the king may not be able to protect you then."
"You!!!"
Su Muyu’s face turned red with rage, her whole body trembling. She knew very well that Minister Professor Yu had a hand in this matter, but she had no choice but to follow his words.
If Yi Qianmo had not died, she would have risked everything, but Yi Qianmo was dead, and doing anything for a dead person was not worth it, especially not upsetting Xuanyuan Sect.
This was also the reason she did not let Yi Qianmo come to Green Dragon Mountain before.
"Hehe, Your Highness, why not go back and rest? I can pretend that what just happened did not occur," Elder Wu said with a smile.
"Oh, did nothing happen?"
Just then, a voice came from the mountain, and everyone turned to look. They saw a young boy awkwardly walking down the mountain.
"How is that possible!!!"
Hu Jianren and Liu Qingfeng both looked shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.
Even Yu Xiu’s eyes widened. He had seen the Fire Demon go inside; with Yi Qianmo’s skills, even with the Five Element Refuge Bead, it was impossible for him to come out alive.
When Su Muyu saw Yi Qianmo, she was momentarily stunned, but then she rushed over and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Why are you crying?"
Yi Qianmo said, "Aren’t I out now?"
Su Muyu then realized she had lost her composure and quickly wiped her tears, regaining her authority.
"According to our previous agreement, shouldn’t your Xuanyuan Sect have killed this person with the surname Hu?"
Yi Qianmo shot a challenging look at Elder Wu.
"Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you?" Hu Jianren said coldly.
"He is my husband from the Yan Kingdom, he is Su Muyu’s man."
Su Muyu said with a cold face, "Today, Elder Wu, if you do not give me an explanation, my Tianyuan Academy will not let your Xuanyuan Sect go!"
"Your Highness, you do not speak for Tianyuan Academy!"
Minister Professor Yu said coldly.
"Is that so?"
Su Muyu said, "Should we go back to the capital to ask the Emperor if I can represent Tianyuan Academy?"
Minister Professor Yu was suddenly speechless. If Yi Qianmo had died, everything he did would have been right, but now that Yi Qianmo was alive, everything he did was wrong.
Elder Wu fell silent. At this moment, the people from the other three major sects were also watching them, eager for the drama. After a long silence, Elder Wu said coldly, "Hu Jianren, why don’t you apologize to the prince?"
"Heh, secretly plotting and trying to murder the prince of Yan Kingdom, and you think an apology will fix everything?"
Su Muyu said coldly, "Otherwise, should I kill your partner and apologize to you?"
"Isn’t he still alive?"
Elder Wu said coldly, "Your Highness, do not go too far!"
Su Muyu was very angry. Before she could speak, Yi Qianmo quickly said, "I accept his apology, but… he has to kneel before me and bow three times. Otherwise!!!"
"You little brat, who do you think you are!"
Hu Jianren shouted angrily, "A mere unaffiliated cultivator thinks I, a proud disciple of Xuanyuan Sect, should apologize to you? In your dreams!"
"Then let’s fight!" Su Muyu said fiercely.
At that moment, even Minister Professor Yu had to step forward and stand behind Su Muyu.
"Elders of the Tianlong Sect, this senior saved me. If the Xuanyuan Sect goes to war with Tianyuan Academy, I hope you will stand with Tianyuan Academy!"
Saying this, Yu Xiu directly stood behind Yi Qianmo.
A group of Tianlong Sect cultivators hesitated, but in the end, they stood with Yu Xiu.
The remaining two great sects clearly did not intend to get involved in this matter; they would rather see the two sides fight, so they all stepped aside.
Elder Wu’s face suddenly turned ugly; if it were just the people from Tianyuan Academy, he could still fight, but now that the Tianlong Sect was involved, it was different.
"Hu Jianren, are you deaf? Kneel down and apologize to the prince immediately!"
Elder Wu’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
Under his pressure, Hu Jianren gritted his teeth, walked up to Yi Qianmo, and knelt down, "I’m sorry…"
"Bow your head!"
Yi Qianmo said coldly.
"You!!" Hu Jianren looked at Yi Qianmo, his eyes almost bursting with anger.
"Bow your head!" Elder Wu glared at Yi Qianmo.
Hu Jianren could only bend down and knock his head on the ground.
"Thud!"
With a flash of light, Yi Qianmo drew Repel Evil and with one swing, he beheaded Hu Jianren.
